The only attention non-American deaths get is in the highly heralded insurgent, and suspected insurgent, body counts that include men and boys who join up to fight against the American occupation of their countries and are automatically labeled terrorists in U.S. military reports.
The world, watching satellite TV, notices that the general American public, indifferent to its government policies, nevertheless seems to enjoy hearing of the U.S. killing record and body counts in the many small nations its always heroic military invades.
There is zero interest in the suffering of the family members of 'foreigners' who die ‘in harms way' of U.S. military firepower.
With John Kerry recent acquiescing to today’s wars, it is both dismal and disheartening, even bizarre, to recall that young Kerry denouncing the U.S. war on Vietnam as an atrocity in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Muhammad Ali did not need to go to Vietnam to know it was wrong, and he has never changed his mind.
P.S. Maybe our ex-swiftboat commander John Kerry will not help Obama's campaign anymore than did the endorsement of Hilary Clinton by a Bob Kerrey, (no relation) exposed on 60 Minutes in 2001 as the Vietnam war decorated U.S. Navy Seal commander of a massacre of 17 girls, a baby and an old man - all "at the very least, sympathizers" with the enemy independence movement. On the other hand, Bob Kerrey still accepted as influential, being a former governor, senator, current President of the New School University in New York City, and member of the 9/11 Commission.
